'SANDPIAPERI-HOLDEB.

Be it known that I, MARTIN Lmnnno'rmja subject of the King of Sweden, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sandpaper-Holders, of which the following, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact specification, sufficient to enable others to make and use my improvements.

This invention has relation to an implement for holding sand paper for use by painters, plasterers, carpenters, and other workmen.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, durable, eflicient and compact holder, on which the sand paper may be conmy improvements involve certain novel and useful peculiarities of construction and relative arrangements or combinations of parts, as will be herein first fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a top or plan view of my improved sand paper holder, the parts being represented in position for use, the dotted lines indicating the reversed position of the handle. Fig. 2 is a side elevation corresponding with Fig. 1.- Fig. 3 is an end elevation corresponding with Fig.2.

In these several figures, like reference characters are employed to indicate correspond mg parts.

A is the foundation plate, the same being preferably 1 .ade of cast metal and as thin as is consistent with its necessary strength and durability, and being preferably of rectangular form and provided with an upright, represented at B, to receive the handle, C. The

uprightB is located at a considerable dis-.

tance from the center of the foundation and 'is perforated to receive the screw bolt'by which the removable handle is applied. D represents the screw bolt, the same being suitably fixed in the handle and adapted to pass through the perforation in the upright. The handle is removably secured in place by a thumb nut, E, applied on the screw bolt and bearing against the upright B or against an interposed washer, as a, to rigidly hold the parts in position for use.

On the underside of the plate A is secured a rather thin pad, represented at F. This pad is preferably of leather, but it might be made of paper or other suitable material, and

it is immovably held in respect to the foundation by suitable means, as by rivets repre- The pad affords a slightly yielding bearing for the piece of sand paper. On the top of the foundation are spring holders, represented at c, c, the same being intended to hold the sand paper in, place upon the foundation, to permit its easy removal when worn, and to permit the easy substitution of a fresh piece of sand paper.

The sandpaper is represented at G, the piece being usuall out about the'width of the foundation an( a little longer, so that its ends may be bent over the foundation and turned back and crowded under the springs c which'serve to hold it in place;

The implement being constructed and the parts mounted and arranged as so far described, the handle is grasped by the hand and the implement employed to move the sand paper in contact with the surface desired to be treated. In this condition of'the implement the hand of the operator isapplied in connection with the upright B so. as'

to project beyond the end of the foundation,

as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, the nut E being then placed on the other side of the upright. When the implement is assembled in this manner, the greater portion of the foundation projects beyond the position of the hand of the operator and the proj'ecting part of the implement maybe inserted in narrow and otherwise inaccessible places, so that all parts of the surface to be worked u on may be. most convenientl reached. esides being reversible in position for use, the handle is easily detached for the purpose of enabling the foundations to be packed or ship ed without occupying so :much room as wou d otherwise be necessary.

v With the improved implement the surface to be worked upon may be carefully reached in all its parts and the sand papering Work accomplished with all desired accuracy and with increased facility over an of the ordi- 1 nary means of holding the san paper.

- Having now fully described my invention,

what I claim as new herein and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is!

- 1. In a sand pa er holder, the combination with the foun ation and an upright applied in connection therewith, of a removable handle and means for securing the same in connection with then right and on either side thereof, the upright eing located at one side of the centralpart of the foundation and the foundation being supplied with springs for holdin the sand paper in place, for the;

object set orth.
